Perjury in Dixie County, Florida
23 cases (2023-2025) · Dixie County courts
Updated September 2026 · 2023-2025 data
Dixie County shows an unrelenting approach to perjury prosecutions. With no dismissals and no acquittals across 23 cases, every defendant either pleads guilty, receives withheld adjudication, or enters diversion—a stark contrast to the statewide dismissal average of 1.7%. The 69.6% guilty rate and 21.7% withheld adjudication rate indicate prosecutors consistently achieve convictions without case dismissals. Only diversion at 8.7% provides an alternative path, slightly higher than the statewide average.
Defendants convicted in Dixie County face severe consequences. Prison confinement reaches 52.2%, among the highest rates statewide, and probation terms average an exceptionally long 1,565 days. Median sentences of 396 days reflect considerable incarceration, though fines are modest at $200. Most concerning, only 13% of defendants have public defender representation, leaving the majority without documented counsel—a critical gap in a county that secures convictions in every contested case.
